How I did it
It made me
celebrate! 
How I did it: I caught a couple of spammers through the Zeitgeist recent entries page and voted on some other spammers in the Neighborhood Watch. That kind of neigborly behavior on 43things tends to lead to gifts from the cheer fairy. And, I gave ugogrl back the cheers that she gave me. Read how I did it…
It made me
motivated
How I did it: I used the book _Your Best Year Yet_ by Jinny Ditzler to help me set 10 goals for 2008. Then, on my birthday in May, I rewrote them. I'm going to try to write more realistic goals for 2009. For example, I'm using terms like "one or more" and "at least" to set a minimal level of completion but encourage more. Read how I did it…
It made me
more watchful 
How I did it: As I recall, I went through this pretty steadily for a long time. But then, I just stopped. Now, I'm tired of having it on my goal list, so I skimmed the last few chapters and I'm calling it done! Read how I did it…
